"unhealthier" poems
I take from the rich And I give To the richer Grow Money trees And then watch the world wither I've slithered In gardens of green Dripping red With a purity hood Draping over my head I have poisoned the fountain Of youth To retain My control of this endless Monopoly game As my capital gains A skyscraper a day To the skyrocket Stock market Locke's do I pray Upon all to be blessed With lavish excess But succession of kings My investment ****** To breed wealthier nations Uncommon in man Through unhealthier rations' Invisible Hand Do I muppet the mouths And harp on the heartstrings As I tug on the chains Of the slaves Freedom rings And that fat lady sings All she wants I will cling To this power With eagle-lied, Vulturous talons Devour The will And then **** the bills, Billing blood that I spill With impunity Robbery, Poverty Property I am the law There is no order stopping me No cherry topping me No global powers’ High towers Are topping me No master forces endorsed Are out-shopping me Spending spree On the lost souls Now to bending knee Fall And enthrall in the terror Of my urban sprawl Making maggots of masses' Automaton dreams Into my gilded ages' New pyramid schemes You can call me a liar Truth is No concern To the one who reigns fire With oil to burn Down upon the deniers Until they all learn I'll recruit body bags To preach life to the choir And when the screen lags Train these dogs to play dead, Lay their own on a wire In so doing shred The carnage they desire So I can play God And with demons conspire A masterful plan To command the economy Zombie hive mind Get in line For lobotomy My progeny Multiply to consume And consume And consume 'Til the ******* last fume Dissipates into space The good fortunes of Earth All amounting to waste With the mother who nurtured you ***** and disgraced The four steeds Of Apocalypse Nothing but paste For I win every time I with you Humans race

I take from the rich And I give To the richer Grow Money trees And then watch the world wither I've slithered In gardens of green Dripping red With a purity hood Draping over my head I have poisoned the fountain Of youth To retain My control of this endless Monopoly game As my capital gains A skyscraper a day To the skyrocket Stock market Locke's do I pray Upon all to be blessed With lavish excess But succession of kings My investment ****** To breed wealthier nations Uncommon in man Through unhealthier rations' Invisible Hand Do I muppet the mouths And harp on the heartstrings As I tug on the chains Of the slaves Freedom rings And that fat lady sings All she wants I will cling To this power With eagle-lied, Vulturous talons Devour The will And then **** the bills, Billing blood that I spill With impunity Robbery, Poverty Property I am the law There is no order stopping me No cherry topping me No global powers’ High towers Are topping me No master forces endorsed Are out-shopping me Spending spree On the lost souls Now to bending knee Fall And enthrall in the terror Of my urban sprawl Making maggots of masses' Automaton dreams Into my gilded ages' New pyramid schemes You can call me a liar Truth is No concern To the one who reigns fire With oil to burn Down upon the deniers Until they all learn I'll recruit body bags To preach life to the choir And when the screen lags Train these dogs to play dead, Lay their own on a wire In so doing shred The carnage they desire So I can play God And with demons conspire A masterful plan To command the economy Zombie hive mind Get in line For lobotomy My progeny Multiply to consume And consume And consume 'Til the ******* last fume Dissipates into space The good fortunes of Earth All amounting to waste With the mother who nurtured you ***** and disgraced The four steeds Of Apocalypse Nothing but paste For I win every time I with you Humans race

Pencil and paper turn into stylus and screen; our world is industrializing like we've never seen. Manufacturing products out left and right, and soon enough our prototypes will join in the fight. Are we possibly producing more than we can consume? Do we understand that technology could lead to our doom? Convenient, oh sure, as we just sit here and get fat. We have iPhones, and iPads, but no eye contact? The air is getting dirtier and unhealthier per day, and we believe the government when they say it's okay. Do we not realize how much harm we're actually doing, even though a better world is what we're pursuing?

Industrialization
The color of our skin is fading Our earth being negated Praying on blind eyes and deaf minds with no chance of shouting out we are omniscient  having this god complex i wont ever miss it You can never stop us because we are here and we dominate we are above all We are the race that pulls forward. ignoring being boring consuming everything else thinking we are superior to all Collecting stuff we don’t need We no longer have animal instincts We are jack and the jelly bean mixed with cetirizine no more a beauty queen because all she is , is masked by the layers and layers of liner and foundation We are all now made up of fake tans, anorexic hands, botoxed lips, enlarged ******* and hips Turning into lumps with each earth rotation Shorter Fatter Unhealthier Lazier Ill just keep running and running and talking and talking because that the only way to spread the word

Nobody is better or worse There's no good or bad There is only that Which makes you Happier and healthier And that which makes you Unhappier and unhealthier. For the latter: Your best weapon Is a positive choice and attitude, For this is in your control If another person Elevates themselves above you It is only out of fear To be run down. If another person Tells you that you are not enough Then that is the exact same thing They tell themselves When they look in the mirror. Are you going to let Another person Take away your power To be happy and healthy?
